stop using shampoo

It’s now been almost 2 months and my hair has almost completely stopped oiling up.
I’m water washing it about every 3 days.
I still have a small amount of buildup around the scalp, but I’m going to get a small plastic scalp sponge to scrub with in the shower and that should fix that.
yay!

upped my water washes to every 2-3 days, hair is now considerably less oily. In another week I’ll drop back to every 4 days and see how it goes.
starting to seem like this might become permanent.

still waiting for the readjustment to happen.
so far I’m still at that looks like it’s almost time for a wash stage…
hides hair under a hat

still hasn’t really settled down. My roots feel a lot stiffer than they used to.
the ends of my hair feel a lot healthier though.
The natural bristle brush does appear to be distributing the sebum.
not giving up yet.
actually seems oilier the day I water wash it, and less so the day after.
it’s like having constant day 3 post-wash hair.

I’ve bought one.
will see if it helps “distribute the oil down the shaft of the hair”...

I’ve washed my hair with tepid water and finger massaging a few times now. to be honest, my hair just looks like it hasn’t been washed in a few days.
nothing near 14 that’s for sure.
anyway, I guess I’ll keep at it for another 2-3 weeks, see what happens.

I’ve heard many reports about this, and a good friend hasn’t used any product on her hair for years, so given after a 1 week vacation jumping in and out of rivers I had neglected to use any shampoo, I thought I’d stretch it out and see how it went.

so far, I’m all oil and not much fun, but I also don’t really care, so I’ll stick it out for another month or so. if my hair still looks terrible at the beginning of October, I’ll give it all up for a good lather.
